This allows you to tailor your course to meet your own enthusiasms. We are a very research-active department with a century-long history of innovation in English Studies: we were one of the first departments to teach American and Canadian authors like Margaret Atwood.

Most recently, Reading graduates studying these subjects have been employed by the House of Commons,the Football Association, the British Museum, MI5, Morgan Stanley, universities and local authorities. Some have gone on to find work further afield in Europe, Japan and the USA. Many of our graduates also demonstrate their love of History or English Literature as a subject by teaching it at all levels of the curriculum from primary to university level.
